I'm actually facing a problem. I have to use Excel to build a database, and I'm going through some troubles.
I'm using a sheet as a table, and columns as fields. Some tables are relating to others with ID fields as we could make with a relational database.
My problem is that a piece of my code is running really slowly and use up to 60% of my CPU.
Database users needs to see in real time while they're typing if a duplicate value exist in the table they're manipulating.
Private Sub UserForm_Initialize()
'Loading Form.
Load Me
'Initialisation of Filtered Data Sheet.
Dim wsData As Worksheet
Set wsData = Worksheets("DonneesFiltrees")
'Disable screen update so the user do not see sheet with data wrote on it.
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Initialize the sheet the user wants to use.
Set usingWs = Worksheets("Listes")
usingWs.Visible = xlSheetVisible
usingWs.Select
'Sends data to Filtered Data Sheet.
Call ModuleDonnees.TransferToFilterByName(usingWs, "Devises")
'Populate the userForm list from Filtered Data Sheet
Me.listExistants.ColumnCount = 1
Me.listExistants.RowSource = populateList(wsData, "A")
End Sub
Unfortunately I'm executing all this code at each letters user is typing may it is too heavy for excel but this is my boss demand...
Private Sub txtNom_Change()
'Initalize Filtered Data Sheet
Dim wsData As Worksheet
Dim FilteredRange As Range
Set wsData = Worksheets("DonneesFiltrees")
'Apply filter on Source Data Sheet. Sort of : Select * In 'myTable' Where Name Like 'UserRequest';
usingWs.ListObjects("Devises").DataBodyRange.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="=*" & Me.txtNom.Value & "*", Operator:=xlAnd
'Get the Filtered Data Range
On Error Resume Next
Set FilteredRange = usingWs.ListObjects("Devises").DataBodyRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
'If the filtered data range is empty, the data doesn't exist, we can write it in the DB.
If FilteredRange Is Nothing Then
wsData.ListObjects(1).DataBodyRange.Clear
isOk = True
Else
'If the filtered data range isn't empty refresh data by sending filtered data from source sheet
'to the filtered data sheet. So the user see datas matching what he's typing.
Call ModuleDonnees.TransferToFilterByName(usingWs, "Devises")
isOk = False
End If
End Sub
Private Sub btnAjout_Click()
Dim newRow As ListRow
'Clearing Filter
usingWs.ListObjects("Devises").AutoFilter.ShowAllData
'This Condition is used to Match if the data really exist
'Lets admit than the user wants to write Ira as a country
'Iraq and Iran exists and will be in the list of existing values but are not exactly the same
'in this case we should let the user write it.
If isOk = False Then
i = 0
Do While (i < Me.listExistants.ListCount - 1)
If Me.listExistants.List(i) = Me.txtNom.Value Then
isOk = False
Exit Do
Else
isOk = True
i = i 1
End If
Loop
End If
If isOk = True Then
'Asking for validation before he write the data.
Confirmation = MsgBox("Voulez-vous confirmer la saisie de données ?", 36, "Confirmation")
If Confirmation = vbNo Then
MsgBox "Saisie annulée"
Exit Sub
ElseIf Confirmation = vbYes Then
'Add row
Set newRow = usingWs.ListObjects("Devises").ListRows.Add
'Write the value
With newRow
.Range(1) = Me.txtNom.Value
End With
'Validation Message
MsgBox "La devise a bien été ajouté à la base de données"
'Closing Form
Unload Me
Else
'If is Ok still false it means that the data already exists in database so we block the user
MsgBox "Il semblerait que votre saisie existe déjà dans la base de données"
Unload Me
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
There are my importing data methods,
'As I'm using tables I copy the header range and then body range and transform it to a table
Function TransferToFilterByName(ws As Worksheet, tableName As String)
Dim wsData As Worksheet
Set wsData = Worksheets("DonneesFiltrees")
Dim FilteredRange As Range
wsData.Cells.Clear
ws.Visible = xlSheetVisible
ws.Select
ws.ListObjects(tableName).HeaderRowRange.Copy Destination:=wsData.Range("A1")
ws.Select
Set FilteredRange = ws.ListObjects(tableName).DataBodyRange.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
FilteredRange.Copy Destination:=wsData.Range("A2")
Call ConvertToTable
End Function
Function ConvertToTable()
Dim tbl As Range
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set ws = Worksheets("DonneesFiltrees")
Set tbl = ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
ws.ListObjects.Add(SourceType:=xlSrcRange, Source:=tbl, xllistobjecthasheaders:=xlYes).Name = "DonneesFiltrees"
End Function
There's all my code used for Adding data to some sheets, but as I said before this is using like 50 to 60% of my CPU, and this is running kind of slowly despite of the little amount of data.
Is this only because of executing it on userForm txtBox_Change() ? Or is there a way to optimize it without changing it.
Any help would be higly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I'll admit I don't quite follow all of your logic as, after filtering your Devises table, and checking for visible rows, it seems to stay filtered even when there aren't any ? Some re-organisation I would suggest (in as much as I understand your code) would be not to do any filtering in txtNom_Change() - instead just use the MATCH() method of the WorksheetFunction object, since it happily copes with wildcards. Then, do the actual filtering of your Devises table within the TransferToFilterByName() procedure where it will always be necessary. (building on FunThomas' comment, since you already know SQL, this is an excellent playlist on how to use it/ADODB in Excel)
